TOMORROW’S RACING

SHARG will have to go close to winning at Brighton if he is to go anywhere near repaying his expensive price tag.

Al Shaqab Racing bought the half-brother to Oaks winner Dancing Rain for 500,000 guineas but he has already been gelded.

He made his debut three weeks ago on the all-weather at Lingfield and while he only finished fifth of seven it was not totally devoid of promise.

Having chased the pace, he weakened close home in what might not have been a bad event. The winner, Howman, is now rated 79 and the runner-up came out and did the business off 72 next time.

With a run under his belt it is hoped Sharg takes a significant leap forward in the Minibet. com-sponsored novice stakes.

Sir Mark Prescott’s Matchmaking has scared all but two rivals away in the Minbet. com Handicap over 10 furlongs.

Like so many at the yard, he failed to trouble the judge in three maiden outings last year over inadequate trips.

Stepped up to this trip at Yarmouth last week he made no mistake and he should have no trouble defying a 6lb penalty.

Enzo returned to form last week and as a dual course winner he should take all the beating in the Minibet Handicap over seven furlongs. Ed Walker’s charge had been out of sorts before finishing second at Newbury over a mile. The drop in trip is not really a concern.
